A guide for this piece: about $47, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.
With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

The chimpanzee with the sandwich board, cast in chalk white as a statue by Medicom Toy for the Sync. Brandalism series.
The Piece
The ape stands upright with shoulders rounded and arms hanging, a board strapped over its chest that reads Do Nothing You Will Live Longer in heavy black type. The gesso finish leaves every tuft of fur matte and bone white, so the piece reads like a plaster cast from an academy. The soles are printed with the maker and series marks.
It measures 34.6 by 19 by 15.2 cm and comes in its printed box. The outer shipping carton is present as well.
From Wall to Statue
Medicom Toy of Tokyo, maker of the Bearbrick, issued the Sync. Brandalism statues as licensed objects after the most famous stencils, and they are made in small runs that sell out on release. The monkey with the placard is one of the oldest characters in that body of work, a figure who has warned since 2002 that the last laugh may not belong to us. These are design objects from a respected maker and are not works by the artist's own hand.
